Universities Accepting Physics HL
University of Ottawa
Ottawa, ON
Expert's Insight: That 5 gets you out of PHY 1121 and 1122, but the first-year labs at uOttawa are a different beast. Your IA was a practice run; their grading is the real, unforgiving exam.
University of British Columbia
Vancouver, BC
Expert's Insight: "A REAL 6-CREDIT BOOST — BUT WATCH FOR THE ENGINEERING & PHYSICS-MAJOR 'NO-SKIP' TRAP" The Good News (what UBC officially grants) If you score a 6 or 7 in IB Physics HL, UBC Vancouver grants PHYS 100 (3 credits) plus PHYS 1st-year level (3 credits), and lists you as exempt from PHYS 101. This is...
University of Waterloo
Waterloo, ON
Expert's Insight: Waterloo's PHYS 111/121 sequence is a different beast than IB Physics HL. Your 5 means you start from scratch, and the first-year labs are designed to be a reality check.

University of Alberta
Edmonton, AB
Expert's Insight: IB Physics HL can be a real advantage at the University of Alberta — but only if you treat it as strategic placement, not a free pass to skip everything. The credit you receive is generous (two full courses), but the value depends entirely on which physics stream your program actually uses. IB Physi...
